EVANSVILLE, fSD, July 7.-Excitement In
Perry County is running high, atid in Can.
Melton and Tell City people are at fever
heat. Absconding Treasurer Miller have
ing sent the combination to the vault back,
tho commissioners had the Treasury
vault opened last evening, when it was
found that Miller had made a clean sweep,
the vault containing nothing but a pair OF
suspenders aad three two cent pos
tage stamps. Miller's bondsmen are fran
tic, and are trying to get out Of making his
stealings good. Some are transferring
their property, others making preferred
creditors and others seeking other ave-
nues of escape. 1t will be hard matter
to fill the office, two treasurers having
defaulted within few months, and no
man can qualify in the office who can not
deposit in cold cash the amount of the
bond. Miller's delinquency will foot up
about $40, 900 to the county and $4,000 al
together To add TO the excitement,
Prosecuting Attorney Vance skipped at
three o'clock this morning, 1t being al.
legged that he was guilty of bribing jury.
The facts in the case just leaked out yes
terday, and 1t is likely that some Of the
iurymen that Vance tempered with will
follow in the prosecuting attorneys wake.
Vance, like Miller stood high in the com.
munity. He leaves a small family. Miller
has nine children. Floyd Mason, a wealthy
citizen, will probably be called upon TO
succeed Miller, he being amply able 70 de-
post half million dollars in cash in

The MauuIx peiaIcatiou.

CINCINNATI, July Judge SHREDDER, Of
the Hamilton County common pleas court,
has announced decision by which the de-
falcation of John B. Mannix, assignee Of
the Purcells, is fixed at 1914, 4l3.9l, Of
which amount s77,9ls.1l belonged to the
John B. Purcell estate, and s296, 495. 80 to
the Edward Purcell estate. The liability
of M. Clements and H. H. Hoffman (bonds-
men) is fixed at sSs, 800 each, less some small
credits, and that of Chas. Stewart, John
Holland and M. Walsh something over
$4,000 each. Upon this decision Judge
Hoadly, who paid s69, 500 to be relieved of
responsibility, paid more than his share,
even with the 5000 attorney fee allowed
him. The decision finds that Mannix's
speculations were on his own account and
for his own benefit, and allows him no
fees. His conduct in the administration OF
the trust assumed by him is severely criti'
cised.

univ n mormon Dodoe.


SALT LAKE, UTAH, July 6.-The Tribune
editorially says: 1.-THE Mormon article
pretending to abolish polygamy is fraud
and sham. 1t omits unlawful cohabita-
ton, the most prevalent and offensive
feature being continuous living in polyg-
amy, and all that Mormon would need
to do in order to live his religion would
be to quietly marry polygamously and
keep the knowledge OF the TACT
from obtrusively offending Mormon
Prosecuting Attorney for three years, and
from thereafter he could live IN the most
shameless and indecent polygamy, with
neither law nor constitution to say him
nay. He would also be backed by the
church and dominant sentiment, and the
constitution would be laughed to scorn, as
the church programme contemplates'"

palrr Cows ple Wllh Pneumonia.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July s.--The health de-
partment made startling discovery yes
terday in Henry Weasel's South st. Louis
dairy. He keeps fifty cows and supplies a
large section Of the city with milk. Fifteen
cows died during the last week OF pleuro-
pneumonia, and the others are down with
the fever. The milk, however, was dis
tributed until to-day. The inspector de-
stroyed fifty gallons of infected milk which
he found on the premises. An inyestiga'
ton showed that herd Of Texas cattle
had been driven through pasture where
Weasel's cows had been feeding, and the
disease is supposed to have been communi-
Gated in this manner. One other dairy In
the same vicinity is infected.

Heavy TreslIe Falls.

CHICAGO July lO.-A trestle work being
in course Of construction on the Illinois
Central road, near the suburban town Of
Lombard, collapsed last evening, killing
Joseph Fox, of oswego, N. Y, and Charles
Clark, Of Chicago. Fox's son, Edward,
was mortally wounded. Albert Bayers
and another son OF Mr.. Fox received
serious but not necessarily fatal injuries.
Joseph Fox, who was in charge OF the
work, was an experienced bridge builder.
The structure had just been passed upon
favorably by the railroad company's chief
engineer. Less than fifteen minutes work
remained to be done when, all at once, the
heavy beams trembled and went down of
their own weight burying all hands be-
tween masses of the trestle work.

SEVENTEEN LIVES LOST
In a Terrible Conhagration at
Hurley, Wis.
One Hundred and Fifty Buildings Destroy
ed.-Foufth Great Fire In the Brief His
tory Of the Place.

HUXLEY, Wis, July 10.-Tire broke out
on the stage Of the Alcazar Theater at s
O'Clock last night, and within an hour the
entire business part Of the town was in
flames, while seventeen persons had per-
lshed in the theater. Thecharred remains
OF nine people have been taken from the
ruins. The loss is fully 100000 The AL
cazar was variety theater, chiefly fire.
quented by miners, and was one
CT the resorts OF unsavory repute associ-
ated with the notorious dance-houses
Of the mining regions. Only a
small audience had gathered when the
fire broke out, and they scrambled out in
a hurry. Several Of the actors, however,
rushed upstairs to save their wardrobes,
and when they sought to escape found
that they were hemmed in on all sides,
the flames having spread through the
wooden building with incredible rapidity.
How they struggled to fee will never
be known, as none OF them, except Sadie
Wells and Mabel Powers, were ever seen
again. The former appeared at second
story window and called plteously upon
the crowd outside TO save her. Before a
hand could be raised the flames reached
her and communicated to her clothing.
She made a frantic effort to jump through
the window, then with piercing Shrek
fell into the furnace below. Mabel Powers
had reached a third-story window. She
jumped, and was so badly injured
that her recovery is doubtful The
Alcazar was in the very heart Of the
city. II was a mass of flames in a very
short time. The ilre seemed to leap from
building TO building until several blocks
became roaring oven. 1t was not long
before every business building between
Third and Fifth avenues was in flames.
All efforts TO get the fire undcr control
seemed futile. The fire department, rein
forced by scores Of volunteers, sent its
puny streams against the advancing walls
Of flame, but had 10 retreat as the fire
swept resistlessly on. 1t did not stopuntil
material for 1t to feed upon was lacking.
This is the fourth big fire in the brief his.
tory Of this place.

ALIVE WITH LooUsTs.
Literally Eating Up Everything Around
Perham, Mimi.


PERHAM, MINI, July Trees, walls
and buildings are covered with locusts.
They are crushed under foot on the side
walks and in the streets. High in the air
every clear day, when the wind is strong,
millions Of them can be seen going as the
wind carries them. Crops at Perham are
dead loss. Ten thousand acres can al
ready be counted as destroyed. Vegeta-
ton in places is devoured to the root.
Elsewhere the leaf is stripped off and
the kernel barred, leaving the bare stalk
and husk whitening In the sun. Every
thing is eaten except wild grass and
foliage. In some places currant bushes
and young trees are stripped Of bark and
foliage. Numerous as these insects are,
this is evidently only a beginning Of their
ravages. Their increase is something be-
yond computation.
